Bug in session management

The Gnome session management code will try and run programs which were
running when you last logged out.

This loses if you last logged into a sun, and then log into a linux
machine, trying to run /mit/aui/arch/sun4x_56/bin/gnome-terminal

My first thought is to patch the session management code to recognize
instances of (for example) sun4x_56 when saving stuff and to replace
it with the actual text ${ATHENA_SYS}.

Anyone else have a better solution?
